According to Ogbah, some former Nigeria’s junior internationals including the duo of Success Makanjuola and Habib Makanjuola had at one time or the other benefited from this educational and sports project by Brooke House College.

He added that Coventry University is also working with many private universities in Nigeria in the area of sports to get talented players abroad to continue their education.

“Because of the exchange rate the fees could be high for some people but payment has been broken into stages to make it easy,” he explained.

“ The beauty of it all is that the talented players can even be offered scholarships which is indeed a solid pathway to the future.”
